    Grand Mole, it sees a lot of potential in TCG, but in Duel Links, it is a bait.

    Dragluon is still good as BE is Tier 2.
    I would rather have Gimmick Puppet due to their imbalanced skill.

    This time, you're right.

    I don't think I've seen anyone running Grand Mole.

    Funny considering I recall back then people says the card's too OP for DL.

    If it's not from Elfoman (who probably gets caught by Konami after that Hyper Galaxy thing), it's debatable whether it's true or not

    Konami is getting greedy, so it is the time to release Selection "Mini BOX".

    WARNING: THERE ARE NO NEW CARDS FOR META.

    So basically, the good cards are:
    - Starliege
    - Smashing Ground
    - Grand Mole
    - Dragluon
    - Blaze Fenix (for burn decks)

    Based from the tournament, none of the URs are popular. Inzektor Exa-beatle transforming to Rhinocebus is the most popular, causing Onomatopoeia decks to die.

    If Konami wanted Onomats dead, it would be a lot more harsher to the limits. It's just an Emergency ban to keep it from reaching tier 0.

    and that's why you're not KoG

    Onomats are actually the ones abusing Exa -> Rhinosebus lol

    no one should be interested in make a Gimmick Puppet Deck, the really interesing in this card box is the comeback from Vampire and Neos Fusion Deck to meta, all the rest is not important.

    Like many other archetypes from a character, GP needs most of their cards first before it can become a real functional deck.

    Ok how do gimmick puppets start the combo? I see most of the monsters need to have 1 puppet in the gy to then do something
    How do we set up that first gimmick puppet in the gy?

    There is a card called puppet condolence or something like that that lets you send 3 puppets to get, it's not in the game.

    The only consistent way is using the skill relinquished puppet.
    I don't like quattro voicelines nor his design so I'll have to pass on building gimmick puppets I don't see how the deck can work without the skill

    Condolence Puppet needs the opponent to control Extra Deck monsters to send more than 1, though

    Hey Komoney, now you need to learn from your own mistake after a decrease in new card sales. There is no meta material here and now people don't have to buy new deck after your decision to ban only 1 single Trunade. Poor company hired noobs to decide the banlist. In the end company revenue got badly affected.

    the thing is:
    -there is more than 5000 cards in duel links. TCG has 9000 cards. 1000 cards are normal monsters, pendilum and link cards r 1000 Cards.
    -so they can't do better than this. so, duel link soon or later will catch TCG and there is nothing to add to this game.

    ***thx for playing duel links ***

    Yeah, at this rate they will run out of cards at 50th main box.
    TCG release around 100 cards every 3 months.
    DL release 100 per month on average. (box, event, roaming, new character level up reward)

    Now they really have to keep thinking on how to make more money when they run out of new cards to sell.
